So there's some work to be done if the Rebels want to improve their standing nationally. With that being said, the Clarion Ledger has decided to take a look at the best, worst and most likely early-signing period scenarios for Ole Miss.

Best-case scenario

Corral, who is rated as the No. 3 pro-style quarterback in the 2018 recruiting cycle, is the centerpiece of this class. That commitment sorts out some of the long-term picture at quarterback for the Rebels.

But the biggest weakness on the roster is at linebacker, which is a position that is also losing its best player, DeMarquis Gates. Ole Miss has hosted two JUCO linebackers, Davion Taylor (Coahoma Community College) and Vernon Dasher (Coffeyville Community College in KS.), in recent weeks.
